CAPTURES HIS BRIDE.

A struggle between the synagogue of Bethel and a local spiritualist sect at Omaha has resulted in victory for the latter, and Rosa Fapia Day, a Jewish bride, has been forcibly rescued by her husband, Edward Day. The girl was spirited away from her husband’s home shortly after her elopement and marriage several days ago. Her union with Day had been violently opposed by her parents and friends. Following her disappearance came a fruitless search by the police and futile seances by Day’s mother, a well-known medium. Accompanied by two girl friends of his wife, Day finally began the search on his own account and located his wife in the house of a Jewish family named Brown. His companions summoned the Browns to the front porch while the husband forced an entrance through the rear. He found his bride locked in a room and induced her to flee with him. The abducted bride confessed that she went with her relatives willingly in momentary obedience to the ties of Tace and blood. When she later sought to return, however, she found herself under restraint. Day has applied for an injunction to prevent his wife's family from interfering with his or her actions.
